Amazing bright and vibrant mini led screen! For me this beautiful screen beats oled. The mini led provides outstanding blacks while the 1100 nits makes highlights pop. The RTX 4080 and i9 14th gen cpu provides the power needed to play AAA games at max settings. Pics provided are side by side of the Scar mini led 18 vs the razer 16 oled. You decide

I am having a blast with my Asus Strix 18 2024 mufirst gaming laptop! Yup sir it is and it's a mighty fine beast. I got it open box excellent because at Black Friday 21st sale it was sold out . Not a problem initially and I noticed I got 16. Something K cinebench 3024 and 9.6K on Nero I realized I need to either lower undervolt past 10 or raise or raise it to get 32+ K in cinebench. I will think about doing this later. Then post them online as I am not sure inwon the silicone lottery. Overwall the computer has served me well and I have not started gaming yet still tinkering and setting stuff up! I got monitor to go along with it! So I wanted this for a reason it had all the ports I wanted including a DisplayPort! You couldn't go wrong with this laptop if you can afford it.

Exceptional performance and beautiful, as well the feeling of the entire laptop it’s amazing.

The screen is the seller here, with bright and punchy colors and deep blacks. But the performance is the same or lower than last years laptops.

As a dedicated gamer, i am happy to say that this purchase has got me set for a few years easy. The assembly is AMAZING, no issues with the keyboard, motherboard, display, nor Bluetooth or network issues to mention. The built in LED's are a conversation starter, along with the power and quality, this laptop (ASUS ROG BABAY!!!) is truly worth the price. You have amazing customization and can really personalize the ambiance of your system. Its an amazing feature, and I'm glad i have it. The monitor size makes it truly a desktop replacement in every sense of the phrase. The components are top-tier, and competitive. I have no problems running most games on ultra, or highest settings. Only down side is that you CANT RUN ANY GAMES WHATSOEVER WITHOUT YOUR POWER ADAPTER. The system will pretend to cooperate, open the app, and proceed to run at half speed, lost framerates, etc. on battery. So in short, you just cant game on the battery, period. But most gamers already know this. And when you decide to run the game and hit your hour plus mark or so, you have some serious heat coming out of the fans. Be advised, the air can get hot enough to mandate an underside fan, or additional accessories for temp control OF THE ROOM. I haven't had the system overheat yet, or trigger any internal safeguards, and i run the GPU at ULTIMATE most of the time. For example, an hour into HD2, and the office room gets a bit stuffy, and notably warmer, like 3-4 degrees. So make sure you have an open window. But the convenience is amazing, and you can move this thing anywhere. I have even hit the laptop around enough to wince a bit, and it took it fine, no chips, cuts, lost pixels, or component failure , but a mild scratch (BUT I HAVE NEVER DROPPED IT,. When i say hits, think hits when in non-cushioned bag over shoulder while exiting or entering car, or hitting walls when over shoulder)

First, it's ASUS, which should be enough for a 5 star review right there. Big fan of the brand and their quality for many years. Always been exceptional for me. This laptop has the best screen I've ever seen. The mini LED display is just stunning. Vivid color, and the blackest blacks.. like staring in to the abyss. The lighting effects are awesome, almost as if this thing has a mind and personality of it's own. In case it's not obvious, I love this thing. We've formed a meaningful personal relationship. It's crazy fast and handles everything without breaking a sweat. For the record sweaty laptops are a bad thing, so you don't want that, but you do want this! Stop looking and buy this right now, you won't regret it!

Very impressive laptop, beautiful, fans are quite quiet, its very fast, display is beautiful, for my use case not concerned about battery life but seems at least adequate

Phenomenal laptop! I picked up the 2023 model just a few weeks ago and ended up returning that to pick up this model. Honestly, the two models (13980HX and 14900HX) are not too different, maybe 2-3% increase on a few games/apps. Build-wise, this is just as sturdy as last year model, but with a slightly translucent body around the keyboard. If you like the biggest and best, this one is for you! It also comes with 32gb of ram rather than 16, and is clocked a little higher than last year's too. Adding an NVME drive or swapping RAM is also just as accessible as last year's model. Battery life away from the wall is basically non-existent, but not too surprised because it's really meant to be plugged in to get the most benefits. Even with GPU/CPU set to low/silent/eco, you're maybe looking at an hour - with a display that big, it's pretty power hungry.

This unit is heavy, However it’s a beast the only one that may slay it is the MSI Titan but that cost 5200 dollars for the RTX4090 version, save yourself 800 dollars and get the 4080 Scar. It also has the Best screen on the planet that I know of. Playing Dragons Dogma 2 and looking at the sky it’s as if you’re looking at the real Sun. And in the dark images are spectacular, I own 2 Oled displays and it puts them to shame, with 2056 mini led array over 18 inches and 1100 nits, you will not be disappointed buy it BUY IT NOW.!!!!!!!

10/10 i love and everything works perfect Mini LED is awesome size 18 is perfect totatlly. replace my gaming desk and worh the RTX 4080 combine with the intel i9 runs everysingle game you can get no problem at all

I am happy that i went with this laptop. It is fast and powerful. I would definitely recommend this laptop.

Great customer service! Quick delivery! It is all and more than I expected. It is so quiet and preforms awesome. The way the colors dance around it is an added bonus!

Amazing powerhouse. Heavy, very heavy. Played everything I threw at it.

Best-in-class performance for a reasonable price i would love to see ASUS continue to offer an 18" with all of these features for a very long time

Good computer very fast and arrived on time and in good condition

The best product ever. No cons at all. It’s everything that I dream about.

Very high end laptop, only issue was charger got hot from extended use of playing games

Have been a big fan of Asus for a while now. While this laptop delivers in performance, and the screen is fantastic, the two things that stop me from giving this a 5 are the lack of a SD card slot, and the lack of any biometric features. If either matter to you, you will either want to look at other options out there, or you will be buying a couple of extra accessories... I purchased this to replace an aging laptop for photo editing work (and the odd game), and while the laptop performs really well (arguably could be a desktop replacement) and the screen is just amazing, the lack of an SD card reader seemed a major oversight.

Bought this labtop as reviews stated its a good fair price compared to similar labtops , build quality is very cheap , flex across entire system , biggest issue is it runs hot on performance and extreme profiles . Total CPU package reaches 100 , and GPU around 87 to 88 so it will thermal throttle . Not only that due to the heat it doesnt sustain its CPU speeds except for bursts . Stay away and if you have the money spend it on a titan or legion 9i !!
